It happened around 10 a.m.one sunny Saturday morning in March 2012 in Lagos, Nigeria.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Nine years ago this month, I instinctively whipped open my Blackberry device and began to write my first article. Eight hours later, after editing and honing my thoughts, I hit the \u2018Publish\u2019 button and the Rethinking Business Communications Blog was born.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

And for each month for nine years, I have sat down to share my thoughts on effective communication to help you continue to influence people and thrive in your career and business.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

But I\u2019ve also benefitted from this habit. The process of constantly researching, reading and sharing my experiences has helped me to improve my<\/em> communication skills. I\u2019ve come to realise that mastery in communication is elusive. Nonetheless, if you\u2019re desirous of steady progress in your nonverbal, public speaking and business writing skills, then you\u2019d need to commit to the discipline of self-improvement and continuous learning.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

But be encouraged:  The results you\u2019ll get as you prod along in your journey will be worth it. From becoming more self-confident in your delivery to winning hearts,  changing minds and rallying support for your worthy causes \u2013 excellent communication makes things happen. I believe so strongly in its power that last month, I published my first business communication blueprint, \u2018Influence and Thrive\u2019, which is available on Amazon<\/a> and other international outlets. More on that at the end of this article.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The bottom line is that on this blog, you\u2019d continue to benefit from the latest insights, research and best practices of business communication, which will equip you to achieve great feats in your field.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

So as has been my tradition since the blog\u2019s first anniversary, I\u2019m sharing quotes from articles posted in the months leading to this blog\u2019s ninth year. If you read the articles that resonate with you and consistently implement<\/em> recommendations, you\u2019ll be amazed at the results you\u2019ll get.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Let\u2019s dive in:<\/p>\n\n\n\n
